CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Bank of America Stadium will transition from natural grass to artificial turf in time for the Carolina Panthers' preseason schedule in August, leaving the NFL's 32 teams with 16 grass venues.
The decision to switch to FieldTurf was made to guarantee a consistent surface for not only the Panthers but also other events. Those events include the Charlotte Football Club of Major League Soccer, which will begin playing at BOA in 2022, college football games and concerts.
